Hi, i noticed one of my cats eyes is turning a foggy brown color when her eyes are usually light blue, we tried giving her pet eyedrops from the local pet store but they havent really done much. I was wondering if anybody knew what this was?

This could be due to a severe eye infection. Any eye problem is considered an emergency because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I'd take Storm into a vet now to get her eye diagnosed and treated.

    This is quite serious, and Angus has to see a vet now. Any eye problem is considered a medical emergency because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Please take him into a vet immediately.
